Review:
It's hard to be a seventeen year old male. It's hard to be a seventeen year old male who's struggling with his identity in a high school filled with cliques, and none of them seem to accept you. It's hard to be the son of two parents who hate each other. Most importantly, it's hard to be the brother of a sister fighting and losing to cancer. Billy Kinsey is all of these, and figuring out how to deal with everything in his life at this point is enough to make anyone act out, cry for help, go a little crazy.
